HTC J Butterfly, the First Phone With a 1080p Display, 5 Inch Diagonal; Unveiled by KDDI

The best and newest technologies come from Japan, that’s a fact and this HTC phone is no exception. HTC J Butterfly (HTL21) was just unveiled by local carrier KDDI, making it the very first 1080p display device, with a 5 inch diagonal. Rumors about a 5 inch phablet for Verizon have been going on for some time now, ever since July, but it appears that the Japanese carriers are more prepared to make this debut.

Everything is packed inside a device that weighs 140 grams and it’s also waterproof, which is pretty cool. The handset is rated at IPX5 and also involves a 2,020 mAh battery, that I hope can provide enough juice for the big screen and connectivity options. Looking forward to see a western version of this model now…
